Song for Europe

"Here as I sit

At this empty café

Thinking of you

I remember

All those moments

Lost in wonder

That we'll never

Find again

Though the world

Is my oyster

It's only a shell

Full of memories

And here by the Seine

Notre-Dame casts

A long lonely shadow

Now - only sorrow

No tomorrow

There's no today for us

Nothing is there

For us to share

But yesterday

 

These cities may change

But there always remains

My obsession

Through silken waters

My gondola glides

And the bridge - it sighs ...

I remember

All those moments

Lost in wonder

That we'll never

Find again

There's no more time for us

Nothing is there

For us to share

But yesterdays

 

Ecce momenta

Illa mirabilia

Quae captabit

In aeternum

Memor

Modo dolores

Sunt in dies

Non est reliquum

Vero tantum

Comminicamus

Perdita

Tous ces moments

Perdus dans l'enchantement

Qui ne reviendront

Jamais

Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous

Pour nous il n'y a rien

A partager

Sauf le passé

Tous ces moments

Perdus dans l'enchantement

Qui ne reviendront

Jamais..."
